“Many of the so called rich got rich because quite frankly they got lucky or were in the right place at the right time”
This way of thinking is what keeps people down. Which is why we are under Democratic control. Anything is possible in this greatest of nations, and those who are enterprising, moral and positive are the ones who succeed. It may take them longer, but they can, have, and will succeed.
Many do succeed and lifting themselves from poverty but the number who do is small.You can be moral, enterprising and positive and still fail.For the most part our position in life is more likely determined by birth and the culture in which we experience in our youthful years. The barriers and hurdles of life are different for all of us. We should be striving to provide an equal opportuntiy to everyone to succeed. It can be a role of government to level the playing field. That is why America has the greatest level of social mobility of any country in the world. But we need to keep getting better.
